they're just words, and words don't hurt.

You sir, are incredibly naive. That is a ridiculous thing to say. Words hurt all the time.

no, they don't, you pussy. it's just a collection of organized sounds interpreted by the brain of the individual who hears it.

words DON'T hurt. and if you think they hurt, how about you call a hardened muscle-head U.S. Marine a "douchebag fucking pansy faggot shithead cockless bastard".

then after he knocks your fucking lights out, then you can evaluate who was hurt more.

Get off the roids, jackass. You're a moron, and your posts constantly reflect that.

you know i would, but words don't hurt.
so you calling me a jackass does nothing but make me laugh. i can say whatever the fuck i want to say. its my own fucking opinion

You can say whatever the fuck you want to say until a muscle-headed US marine hears and knocks your fucking lights out. Is that about right? Enjoy being the shit underneath everyone's shoes.

Both of you need to tone it down, right now neither of you are being creditable to your opinion.

Actually this swear-off is a perfect example of my opinion on swearing. Generic, over-the-top, every-third-word swearing does make you look like a idiot, as does random childish name calling. However I find that swearing can make a usually boring speech or conversation far more interesting if used creatively, case in point Warren Ellis' work or Seth Rogan's speech in Zack and Miri Make a Porno ('We were supposed to FUCK and ended up making love!')

To be fair, I was quoting something he had said to me earlier in the thread. (The US marine remark.) But you and J-Man are right. I'm just bored is all.

hahaha another desperate attempt to try to piss me off, with no avail. because you're just insecure and every time you try to insult me it just provides me with 5 more minutes of humor.
in case you need a wake up call, you're arguing with someone via forum. you and everyone else who has tried combat me in this is just pathetic, and i'm so happy that i did nothing but voice my opinion because you people are so sensitive that you're doing nothing but make me laugh

No ones trying to piss you off. There's also nothing insecure about me, thank you. I'm insecure because I, like you, voice my opinion? And because it differs from yours, I therefore, am insecure? That doesn't make sense.

And all this talk about how we're crying and upset, doesn't really apply. No one here is upset, or crying. Everyone's just putting in their two cents.

Yup and I have to say one reason swearing is fun because of exactly what is above me. It makes things like that happen which allow others to sit back and chuckle to themselves about the awesome back and forth going on between multiples.

i dont care if people swear, and i actually have noticed that im starting to swear a lot more. i have to watch myself a lot obviously, but i dont think its a problem and i dont really care about it. i dont really care when people swear, and i actually think it can be a problem for some types of things when people dont swear, especially if they had a good time to swear and/or they are obviously trying not to swear. and a swear free version of pretty much anything on the internet would be infinitely worse then the sweary version, which would probably be the original knowing how the internet works.

Alright, I'm not flaming here, I'm just clarifying.

I never tried to insult you, until you insulted me(You called me a fucking pussy). And your opinion didn't piss me off, I simply disagreed with it. (About whether words hurt or not.)

That's it. Now let's drop this.

I love to swear, when appropriate, i like it when other people only swear when appropriate. That about sums it up.

The english language needs a word like fuck, without it you have to explain anger, and that doesnt pan out well, and usually causes way more offence.

I was brought up to think you only swear if you can't think of anything better to say, so if someone swears all the time by that logic they can't be very smart at all, or at the very least have a small vocabulary. Sometimes I think the way you speak is a bit of a class thing.

Not taking digs at anyone in particular, but around where I work and live, swearing every other word in sentence you're bang on the money when you think they live on the local council estate, as they generally do, the rest of the time their gypsies (is that politically correct?), whereas when some one comes in that doesn't swear at all they're from the opposite, wealthier side of the center. It's a very interesting place to work

I must admit to having a mouth like a platoon of troopers (the grizzled variety at that).

I do swear a lot and I useually have no problem with that although I can acknowledge that there are times and situations when it may be inappropriate or offensive (such as in the presence of children, family or girlfriends/other halfs and formal events).

I disagree with the opinion that excessive swearing is the sign of a limited vocabulary/intelligence, this is like saying that speaking German suddenly makes me strict and joyless.

I do enjoy swearing. A lot. Actually. But I only do it when it should be used. "Not like. Well fuck, I fucking thought that I should fucking do that. Fuck."

I've been swearing since I 5 years old. I'm 26 and I still love swearing. When I was 7 I even made my best friends into foul mouths sons of bitchs.

No, swearing is not awesome(.) it make(S) you sound like an idiot most of the time. If you can't communicate without using vulgarities, nobody will take you seriously. If you're having beers with your friends(, well,) in that situation anything goes, but I'd like the rest of the world to know me as a well mannered, mature(,) 25 year old.

If you don't want to sound like and idiot; I suggest you use proper grammer.

Have you ever heard an academic try to swear? It's embarrassing. Good swearing takes some skill. You have to know your own limits and of those around you to pull it off well. Granted many people sound like idiots when they swear, but those who don't should be respected. It's not as easy as dropping in fuck as every second word.

QFT.

And personally, I swear a LOT. But only because I see no point in being offended by a certain grouping of letters if they aren't said with malicious intent.
"Fuck" is a word used regularly in my vocabulary, not so much on forums where I'm making a conscious effort to be concise with my points, but in person, I'm profane to a fairly ridiculous degree, but anyone who knows me doesn't even notice anymore, because I set out using these words as much as you'd say any non-swear word in such a way that they aren't confrontational or malicious.
To me, they're just words.
What harm is there in saying "I think it's shit." rather than "I think it's rubbish" or "beyond rescue" or "subpar" or "below average" or any of that stuff?
It gets the same point out quickly and concisely.

And aswell as that, if you swear heavily but it's common knowledge that you have a good vocabulary and just choose not to use it I think you have every right to swear as often as you'd like.

And besides, "Damn" used to be very offensive, but does it really offend anyone except overly conservative, evangelical Christians anymore?
No.
The more people use the word, the less it will be seen as offensive, which is partially why I swear so much, because I want to contribute to society's acceptance that these words aren't offensive.

Swearing is what the cool kids do.

Seriously though, I swear like a drunken sailor at times, and other times I avoid it. It's all about knowing your audience. People around you aren't going to look at you like an idiot unless they don't themselves converse that way, so I try to just speak with people the way they speak with me. It's a good way to connect with people anyway.

I work nights though, and one thing I've learned firsthand is that the most vulgar people on the planet reside on night crews. Some of the conversations we have are just absolutely repulsive. Doesn't bother me any, but every once in a while we'll get a new guy and I'll have to pull them aside and let them know not to take anything too seriously and let me know if they get offended.

Oh, and look, I made it through this entire fucking post without using one god damn curse you cunt discharge.

Yeah Riicek makes a really good point. It's all about scaling your audience and knowing ahead of time whether or not it's going to be received well. Generally I stick to an age based rule though. Older people and younger people; it's probably a bad idea, while people that are around my age will receive it well.

I just have a hard time taking people who swear constantly seriously. At the very least, I find them annoying and I often tend to wonder at their education or lack thereof.

I think it can be very cathartic at times, when you're frustrated sometimes just yelling the most vile words that come to mind can be a good way to relieve stress, other people might not like hearing those words, buuuut I think that hearing unpleasant words is far more tolerable then strangling the nearest person.

I don't swear very often but I when I do when something/one pisses me off, or if I get killed online because of lag..........

I find hearing bleeping (that noise that covers up the swears) is funnier then swears themselves.

No, swearing is not awesome(.) it make(S) you sound like an idiot most of the time. If you can't communicate without using vulgarities, nobody will take you seriously. If you're having beers with your friends(, well,) in that situation anything goes, but I'd like the rest of the world to know me as a well mannered, mature(,) 25 year old.

If you don't want to sound like an(-d) idiot; I suggest you use proper grammer (it is spelled grammar) .

Are you serious? Are you just trolling me, or what? I don't take too kind to that sort of crap. Next time you want to attack someone for one spelling mistake and a few percieved grammatical errors, check your own post to make sure it is in tip top shape, guy, or you look like kind of an idiot. Grammar nazi fail!

Is it just me, or is swearing awesome? And I don't get those people who snootily say "How vulgar!" Words are just sounds and shapes that we use to communicate, how the fuck can they offend you?

there's a time and place for everything
